He was much more famous than the other two; the city of Cincinnati made a Memorial Day in his honor. In the '50s, when Peron's government in Argentina was tottering, Silver was reading the news with a penetrating eye. One day he read an item that convinced him that Peron would fall. He called his young assistant, Jacob Lustig (still residing in Cincinnati), to take him to the Western Union office. There, he telegrammed to Rabbi Bloom, Chief Rabbi of Argentina, the following text designed to confound government censors: "And the way the Ark traveled was that Moses said, 'Arise...' (Numbers 10:35)"<BR/><BR/>Late that night, the phone rang in Silver's house. It was Rabbi Bloom calling from the post office in Buenos Aires (the only way to make international calls at that time), acknowledging that he received the telegram and asking when he should leave. "Why are you still there?" Silver shouted. "Leave immediately in the middle of the night." The Blooms grabbed a few possessions and paid a fisherman to row them across to Uruguay. By the next morning, the military had deposed Peron and arrested all major religious leaders as collaborators.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
